Amazon.com Review
This marvelous collection by one of science fiction's most thoughtful and graceful writers belongs on the bookshelf of anyone interested in literary science fiction.
Collected here for the first time, Ted Chiang's award-winning stories--recipients of the Nebula, Sturgeon, Campbell, and Asimov awards--offer a feast of science, speculation, humanity, and lyricism. Standouts include "Tower of Babylon," in which a miner ascends the fabled tower in order to break through the vault of heaven; "Division by Zero," a precise and heartbreaking examination of the disintegration of hope and love; and "Story of Your Life," in which a linguist learns an alien language that reshapes her view of the world. Chiang has the gift that lies at the heart of good science fiction: a human story, beautifully told, in which the science is an expression of the deeper issues that the characters must confront. Full of remarkable ideas and unforgettable moments, Stories of Your Life and Others is highly recommended. --Roz Genessee --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Publishers Weekly
Here's the first must-read SF book of the year. Chiang has acquired a massive reputation on the basis of very few pieces of short fiction. This collection contains all six previously published tales, including the Nebula Award-winning "Tower of Babylon," plus a new story, "Liking What You See: A Documentary." It's rare for a writer to become so prominent so fast. In this case, though, the hype is deserved. Chiang has mastered an extremely tricky type of SF story. He begins with a startling bit of oddity, then, as readers figure out what part of the familiar world has been twisted, they realize that it was just a small part of a much larger structure of marvelous, threatening strangeness. Reading a Chiang story means juggling multiple conceptions of what is normal and right. Probably this kind of brain twisting can be done with such intensity only in shorter lengths; if these stories were much longer, readers' heads might explode. Still, the most surprising thing is how much feeling accompanies the intellectual exercises. Whether their initial subject is ancient Babylonians building a tower that reaches the base of Heaven, translation of an alien language that shows a woman a new way to view her life as a mother, or mass-producing golems in an alternative Victorian England, Chiang's stories are audacious, challenging and moving. They resemble the work of a less metaphysical Philip K. Dick or a Borges with more characterization and a grasp of cutting-edge science.

特德•姜(Ted Chiang)
美国华裔科幻作家,1967年生。毕业于布朗大学计算机专业,之后从事软件行业。自1990年发表处女作《巴比伦塔》至今,只出版了十四篇短篇或中篇小说,却让他捧回了包括星云奖、雨果奖、坎贝尔奖在内的几乎所有科幻大奖的奖杯。
Ted chiang的大名如雷贯耳。不仅仅是因为他是非常少见的著名华裔科幻小说家,更因为他一生不过写了8部中,短篇小说,却五获大奖,三次获得雨果奖。不在数量,而在质量。 Ted chiang的小说是要花点力气去啃的。这也正对我的脾气,挑战一下自己的智力,也算是给无聊的生活找点乐...
评分那已经是差不多一周之前的事情了。周一的最后一堂语言学基础[Foundation of Linguistics],讲师没有来,是PhD在读的助教师姐给我们上的,内容是语言决定论,也就是语言和认知能力的关系。课上讲了萨丕尔-沃夫假设,如何证明它有可能是对的,如何反驳它有可能是错的,说不同语言...
评分The Wonderland of Ted Chiang (刚想起把它从blog里搬过来) 第一次看到Ted Chiang(特德·姜)的小说,是某年度星云奖小说集里面的Story of Your Life(你一生的故事),除了惊为天人,我没有别的词来形容。与外星文明的接触一向是科幻热门话题,然而这个话题在姜特德手...
评分在候机的时候看完了《你一生的故事》,费了半天劲去理解书中的思想,然后在飞机上写了一堆乱七八糟的分析。以下便是鄙人在震惊状态下写的东西。语无伦次,爱看不看~ ------------------------------------------------ 特德姜将两者的矛盾通过“你要么选择预知未来、放弃自由...
